Peanut Butter Coconut Bars

Most of the time when I make something I end up with an excess of ingredients that I don't usually use. So I decided to use some of those odd ingredients to put together a quick little treat to have in the fridge this week. 

Peanut Butter Coconut Bars 

1/4 cup butter 
1/2 cup peanut butter 
1 cup graham cracker crumbs 
1/2 cup powdered sugar 
Shredded coconut 
White chocolate chips 

In a small saucepan melt together peanut butter and butter till combined. Once melted together mis with the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs in a medium size bowl. Line a small rectangular container with parchment paper (this can be a tupperware container or a glass pyrex dish, if you have) and spread the peanut butter mixture in a thick layer. Top generously with shredded coconut and a few white chocolate chips. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, then cut into small squares and store in fridge. 

After trying to rush schedule my driving test today and emailing my boss about the days I have left to work, its finally starting to feel like the end of summer. And while I start making lists of everything I need before the start of school, I am realizing that freshman year went by so quickly that it doesn't even feel like I'm going to be a sophomore, it just seems like there was a big gap in freshman year and its going to start right back up in a month when we go back. But reality is that we are getting older and not full realizing it and soon enough senior year will be approaching and we will be asking where the next few year went, but till then, 
Keep Cooking Brooklyn!
